Music producer Will.i.am has made another foray into the design world, with a pair of wireless headphones inspired by the shape of vinyl records.

The i.am+ Buttons headphones are backed with magnetic metallic discs which, when not in use, join to form a necklace.

They connect to the user's device through Bluetooth, negating the need for a headphone jack. When fully charged, the buds – which were created in partnership with Apple – have over six hours of battery life.

"You know, we all love buying shoes to match our outfits and bags to match our outfits, but for some reason we don't expect our technology to match our outfits," Will.i.am told the New York Times. "Why not? Why should we just accept that? What I want to do is change that."

The Buttons are available in black, grey, rose or gold, and are priced at $229.95 (approximately £184).
